Step 3 : Basic hookups
Selecting the best hookup option
There are many ways in which your DVD-VCR can be hooked up. To hook up your
DVD-VCR so that it works best for you, first scan through the table below. Then use
the accompanying diagrams and procedures on the following pages to set up your
DVD-VCR.
If your TV has audio/video inputs, refer to page 15 for audio/video (A/V) hookup.
Then follow one of the hookups below. If your TV does not have A/V inputs, go
directly to one of the hookups below.
After you have completed the connections, follow the instructions for setup.
After you have completed the setup, you are ready to use your DVD-VCR.
Procedures differ depending on the hookup you used.
Before you get started
• Turn off the power to all equipment.
• Do not connect the AC power cords until all of the connections are completed. If
you connect the AC power cord before the connections are completed, you may not
be able to use the Plug and Play function.
• Be sure you make connections firmly. Loose connections may cause picture
distortion.
• If your TV does not match any of the examples provided, see your nearest Sony
dealer or qualified technician.
Caution
Connections between the DVD-VCR’s VHF/UHF connector and the antenna terminals of the
TV receiver should be made only as shown in the following instructions. Failure to do so may
result in operation that violates the regulations of the Federal Communications Commission
regarding the use and operation of RF devices. Never connect the output of the DVD-VCR to an
antenna or make simultaneous (parallel) antenna and DVD-VCR connections at the antenna
terminals of your receiver.
Note to CATV system installer (in USA)
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820- 40 of the
NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable
ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable
entry as practical.

Basic hookups
Audio/video (A/V) hookup
If your TV has audio/video (A/V) input jacks, you will get better picture and sound if
you hook up your DVD-VCR using these connections. If your TV does not have A/V
inputs, see the following pages for antenna or cable hookups. Note that “Advanced
Hookups” (page 45) explains additional hookup methods that will optimize the
picture and sound for a true “hometheater” experience.
If you are not planning to use your DVD-VCR to record programs, you only need to
make the connections shown on this page. If you want to record regular or cable TV
programs, complete these connections first, and then go to the following pages for
antenna or cable hookups.
A
Use this hookup if your TV has stereo jacks
B
Use this hookup if your TV does not have stereo jacks
Notes
• To play a tape/disc in stereo, you must use the A/V connection.
• If you do not have a stereo receiver, connect the white LINE OUT/AUDIO L jack to the
AUDIO IN jack on your TV.
